"The possibility exists that it's a female based on some preliminary work," Terrance W. Gainer, Washington's deputy police chief, said in a telephone interview from Rock Creek Park. "They have been here for some time." Gainer said he has no idea whether the remains are those of Levy, but said the park has been an area police have searched extensively for Levy's body. The former U.S. Bureau of Prisons intern disappeared May 1, 2001. Levy's case drew national attention because of her connections to Rep. Gary Condit, D-Calif. Condit reportedly told police that he and Levy, of Modesto, Calif., were having an affair. Condit has denied any role in her disappearance and police have said he is not a suspect. Condit, who acknowledged a phone conversation with Levy two days before she disappeared, may have been one of the last people to talk to or see Levy. The congressman lost his re-election bid in the Democratic primary in March. Dr. Robert and Susan Levy met with police when they were in Washington to mark the first year anniversary of their daughter's disappearance. At the time, police told them they had no new leads in the investigation, which remains a missing person case. Someone walking a dog found the remains around 9:30 a.m., Officer Kelly McMurray, a police spokeswoman, said. Police Chief Charles H. Ramsey said the remains were found in more than one location in a heavily wooded area of the sprawling park. Gainer said the medical examiner has been called to the scene and dogs that search for human remains also are being used. Police searched the park repeatedly in the first few months after Levy disappeared. Her apartment was not far from the park and she often exercised there. Investigators also found that Levy looked up a Web site for the park's Klingle Mansion on the day she disappeared. The mansion is about a mile south of where the bones were found Wednesday, Gainer said. © 2002 The Associated Press
